I think the problem that you guys are encountering is the tightened security. When a high number of connections open to our server from an IP address, the server ignores that IP address for a certain amount of time. About 10 minutes.

You guys having problems may be using ISPs with proxy servers, which open more connections to TGO at once than they really need... or are opening multiple connections to us on behalf of multiple users.

I'll lighten the restriction some to see if it helps.

No problems so far this evening.....

Thanks!!!!

I'm going to work on it later today and try to clear out the blacklist a little so that you guys having trouble logging in won't have that issue anymore. I've got a few pressing issues to deal with offline first, but I will do it.

So that is the reason I have not been able to access the site for the last two days.

Please refer to the Announcements forum for the latest news. Not everything that happens today is going to be the result of this ongoing attack. Some of the outages will be the result of work that I'm doing to shore up the server.

I could get to the homepage yesterday but everytime I went to read a thread Internet explorer couldn't open the page. It went on for about a hour so I gave up. Any progress in finding the arse that's doing this crap?
